The Delgados are a Scottish indie rock band formed in Glasgow in 1994. The band is composed of Alun Woodward (vocals, guitar), Emma Pollock (vocals, guitar), Stewart Henderson (bass guitar), and Paul Savage (drums).

Peloton is the second album by the Delgados, released in 1998 on their own label, Chemikal Underground.[4][5] The title refers to the large main group in a road bicycle race.

The album peaked at No. 56 on the UK Albums Chart.

The Great Eastern is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band The Delgados. It was released on 17 April 2000 in the United Kingdom on their own Chemikal Underground record label, and later on 9 May 2000 in the United States.

The Great Eastern was their first album not to be named after a cycling theme – the title refers to a textile mill in Glasgow, latterly a hostel for the homeless.

Universal Audio is the fifth and final studio album by Scottish rock band the Delgados, released 20 September 2004 through Chemikal Underground. While touring in support of their fourth studio album Hate (2004), the band members felt disconnected from the live shows due to bringing extra musicians with them. They recorded their next album at Chem19 studios in Hamilton, Scotland, with Tony Doogan and the band splitting the producing role. Universal Audio is a pop album that strips away the orchestral rock sound of Hate and their third studio album The Great Eastern (2000).

Universal Audio received universal acclaim from critics, many of whom highlighted its stripped-down sound, while retaining high-quality songwriting. It charted at number 49 in Scotland, and number 105 in the UK. Its lead single "Everybody Come Down" peaked at number 56 in Scotland, and number 67 in the UK. The second single, "Girls of Valour", charted at number 98 in the UK. "Everybody Come Down" was released on 6 September 2004, which was followed by a tour of the United Kingdom. The Delgados toured the United States and Europe to end the year; after a Scottish tour in February 2005, "Girls of Valour" was released on 14 March 2005.
